Elder Scrolls Online… Screenshot Saturday: New mini-me in ESO 25 Jan 2020 Just after reaching level 40 with my Templar, I decided to give the nightblade a try. So far, she's tiny and the class choice isn't noticeable. I don't have many…
Games… The worst game genre? 23 Jan 2020 I know there is no way to realistically and objectively call any genre the worst, of course. But I guess every gamer has this one genre that they cannot stand…
Elder Scrolls Online… Screenshot Saturday: Level 40 in ESO 18 Jan 2020 I know that max level in ESO is 50, not 40. But it still feels like a big milestone to me. Especially since it took me months to get from…

Action RPG… Screenshot Saturday: Dervish in Arkovian Undercity 4 Jan 2020 After months of being much better, my hand decided to get a lot worse again today. I had really wanted to spend the evening gaming, though. Mouse and keyboard doesn't…
Action RPG… My Top Games of the Decade 31 Dec 2019 Writing about my Top Games of 2019 was a bit too short-sighted, apparently. I have seen others talk about their games of the decade - most recently Rakuno's post. And…

Action RPG… Five games for a year 2 Nov 20192 Nov 2019 Naithin shared this writing prompt on the Blaugust Discord channel recently which, I admit, I only saw because I read Rakuno's answer. It's a fun one to think about, so…
Games… Gaming nostalgia: What about Guild Wars? 31 Oct 2019 I think it was Rift with their Prime server that started the nostalgia trip into the beginnings of several MMOs. Rift Prime launched in March 2018 and community-wise it was…
